Default give me a synopsis on vietfood joints mid/downtown

sorry crackas i just cant trust your yelp reviews


today i went to:

Huynh - downtown - nice decor, overpriced (9$ for large pho which is sized of most's standard), few pieces of meat, noodle had no bite, they even skimped on the vegetables and had no razorleaf lettuce at all

Thien An - midtown - bought a few sandwiches, no dish. sandwiches 3$ a piece... but really good with warm toasty bread

Les Givral midtown - this is the place ive always gone when im in midtown.. very mediocre sandwiches


someone fill me in on the rest?

Tay Do on bellaire ftmfw. It's a bit more pricey than some places but the quality of food is great and the proportions don't disappoint IMO

you're only 15 minutes from Bellaire. Most of us live farther away, so I don't know whatcha whining about

All the good pho, banh cuon, and banh mi shops moved out of Midtown to Bellaire about 15-20 years ago.

Yep, downtown is a ghost town for viet food. Food down there is mediocre at best. Only mi chang scream that its good. All the good places are on bellaire and its not too far honestly.
